Aslaug watched as Gregor began to walk around the outside of the temple trying to find his balance, he was having difficulties with the tail. He had not gained control over the extra appendage yet and when it would swat at him or tuck under him he would fall while trying to walk over it. He was also looking around the woods his ears pricking at every sound, his nose constantly trying to pick up every new smell around him, thanks to these inhances he was noticing things he had never noticed before happening around him.
She wathced this for a few minutes before she grew tired of his constant change of focus from one new sound or smell. With a bark she stood and walked out to him her eyes turning cold as she moved.
"Come you must be hungry we shall hunt." Aslaug said with a bark to him.
"To hunt like this?" he whined "But I don't think I can. Besideds its just us two how will we take down any big game."
"I never said big game young pup. Follow me." she sighed.
The two started to run through the woods, Gregor did much better then before running along after her when keeping up with her was his priority. She ran faster then he had expected and he had to push his tired aching muscles to keep up with her.
Gregor still heard the sounds but now he could hear that they were running from the two wolves running through the woods.he could smell the fear in some of the prey animals as they ran from the wolves fearing they would turn thier attentions to them. He was starting to enjoy the added effect of enhanced senses not to mention the new found strength he could feel inside him now.
"Where are we going?" He barked to her.
She did not answer him as she ran simply pushed herself to run faster then the younger man following close behind her. She knew that he was following close behind her now and the she wolf turned the two of them towards the fields.
The fields were a cleared off portion of human land that had been set aside for the raising of the livestock the villages needed. A small group of families ran the land and were paid by the surrounding villages to raise the animals for the rest of them until they came to retrieve the animals. They mostly had sheep and cows in the lands, they had tried pigs once but they would get loose and turn wild on the humans.
They reached the fields and Aslaug stopped him so they could creep towards the clearing without making a sound. The two crouched down onto their bellies and she looked out towards the animals.
"Do you know what we do now?" she asked him softly.
"We watch and look for the best one to take down?" he asked.
"Correct. Do you know which one we will take?" she asked.
"The slowest one."
"Not necessarily. Look at them and think about the animals, we wil take the oldest ones but that does not always mean the slowest. We will try to take the oldest and the weakest, it will allow the stronger males to breed making each new generatin stronger. Better for the humans to consume as well." she answered.
"I understand I think." he said softly.
"We will watch the animals as they graze and when the night falls we'll take down one of them." she said turning to look at him.
The two laid themselves on the ground and watched the grazing creatures.

King Roderick had just finished his meeting with the sorcerors when the door to his throne room swung open once again and the captain of his field soldiers walked in quickly.
"What is it?" Roderick demanded coldly. "Have the soldiers been sent to the wolves lands?"
"Yes my lord they are on their way but.."
